Soviet grain outlook weakens as heat and drought bite
The Agriculture Department lowered its 1975 Soviet grain forecast to 200 million metric tons, down about 5 percent from two months ago. Wheat is placed at 95 million tons, with two thirds of output at risk from spring rainfall gaps. If drought continues, yields may fall further and Russia could import more grain in 1975 76. The 200 million estimate would still be the second largest crop, after 1973.
